Yale professor: Feds making 'unconscionable mistake' blocking hydroxychloroquine for COVID patients

Harvey Risch says treatment effective in helping people in early stages of disease, especially those with higher risks.

Amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic Yale School of Public Health epidemiology professor Harvey Risch is asserting that the drug hydroxychloroquine, in conjunction with zinc and appropriate antibiotics, can help high-risk patients recover from COVID-19.

Risch draws a distinction between two stages of the illness, noting that while the treatment will likely work quickly during the first stage, it is not effective in helping people who have advanced to the more serious second stage.

"At the first stage, it is a flu-like illness. That illness will not kill you. If you are a high-risk patient and begin treatment immediately, you will almost certainly be done with it in a few days. When not treated, high-risk patients may progress. The virus then causes severe pneumonia and attacks many organs, including the heart. In this second stage, hydroxychloroquine is not effective," he explains in a Washington Examiner opinion piece.

Risch says that people in the high-risk category should be provided treatment even before they receive the results of their coronavirus test.

"The second thing to know is that most low-risk patients survive without treatment. Low risk means you are under age 60 and have no chronic conditions such as diabetes, obesity, and hypertension, have no past treatment for cancer, are not immunocompromised, etc. High risk means you are over 60 or you have one or more of those chronic conditions. High-risk patients need immediate treatment when they first show symptoms," he said.

Is it the unconstitutional FDA that is blocking it or the likewise unconstitutional CDC?

Harvey Risch needs to be added to the task force, to join Scott Atlas.

Trump gets blamed by Dems for EVERY COVID death even Cuomo’s nursing home deaths, so blocking a cure makes sense to them.

They demand that he shut down businesses then blame him for the loss of jobs.

not trying to drive readers to my thread- but i just posted about some alternatives IF people want to look into them- alternatives you can get over the counter- no prescription- basically you are looking for “Zinc Ionophores”

if you’d rather not have it here- lemme know- I’ll ask mod to delete my post, i just thought it would be a good companion thread to this one due to the subject-:

It wasn’t a mistake.

It was a deliberate act.

A Yale prof saying this publicly? Wow!

The education establishment must be worried about our children losing classroom leftist indoctrination time to home time with their moral, patriotic, even (oh my no!) Christian parents.

Their “Ruin Trump’s great economy!” plan, like most progressive ideas, has very negative unintended consequences for them.

Everyone needs to know this
In most states Doctors have actually been threatened and intimidated into not prescribing. An online anonymous doctor told me he prescribed it for his family but would not risk his license for a patient.
In many states the pharmacy boards have prohibited pharmacists from filling prescriptions WRITTEN BY YOUR DOCTOR.
If the President, Amy Klobuchar’s husband, and members of Congress can get this 5 day treatment....why cant every American under DR supervision?
